Sarson Ka Saag | Mustard Greens Indian Style

Sarson ka saag is one of the great favourites in the winter months in Delhi, when mustard greens are available in abundance as is fresh spinach. Sarson ka Saag or Mustard Greens are of course an import from Haryana which borders the capital, and can be found as a staple in the many roadside dhabas that dot the state.Here, we get mustard greens all year round and they are marketed as a southern specialty! Fresh spinach is also readily available, though due to high demand, we sometimes rely on the frozen version. It is just as good, by the way.

Aparna:Mustard greens in India are truly seasonal - they tend to appear in the market in the winter months!! Nothing like growing your own though. I keep meaning to ask: did you get your kitchen garden started.
